THE FIRETRACE® ADVANTAGE

• Suppresses fire within seconds to minimize damage

• Flexible, narrow tubing is particularly applicable in small spaces

• Always activates where the most heat is detected

• Can be installed virtually anywhere, especially in hard-to-reach areas

• No electricity required; performs even during electrical failure

• Variety of available suppressants including FM-200®, dry chemical

powders, CO2, water and foam

• Cost-effective and practical

• Quick and simple installation

The Firetrace Detection Tubing is the “heart” of our system.

UNIQUE FIRETRACE ADVANTAGES:

®

The effectiveness of a Firetrace system comes from our proprietary, polymer tubing that

will rupture when exposed to a flame. This specialized Firetrace Detection Tubing combines

leak resistance, flexibility, durability and precise temperature sensitivity, allowing it to react quickly

when the heat from a fire is present. Our Detection Tubing connects to one of our custom engineered valves

and a Firetrace cylinder that contains the best fire suppression agent for the particular hazard.

Designed for simple installation, often very near the source of a potential fire, Firetrace is a self-activating

suppression system that reliably suppresses fires in seconds. We provide a low maintenance, cost-effective

solution to the problem of "micro-environment" protection. Micro-environment applications are typically between

250 — 300 cubic feet (7.08 — 8.50 cubic meters). Firetrace requires no electricity or external power source,

so it will provide its vital fire protection even in the event of power failure. Plus, our systems can be configured

to turn off power or fuel supplies to equipment or machinery.


DIRECT RELEASE – LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS

The Direct Low Pressure (DLP) System utilizes the Firetrace Detection Tubing as both the fire

detection device and the fire suppressant delivery system. The portion of the Tube nearest the

hottest point of the fire ruptures, forming an effective discharge "nozzle". The pressure drop

in the Tube releases the entire contents of the cylinder through this nozzle.ole and the fire is

quickly and effectively suppressed.

INDIRECT RELEASE – LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS

With the Indirect Low Pressure (ILP) System, the Firetrace Detection Tubing is used only as a

detection device. The fire suppression agent is delivered via copper tubing, stainless steel tubing

or braided hose. Once the tube "bursts", the suppressant is discharged through strategically

placed nozzles within the protected enclosure.

HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEMSThis line of Firetrace products, available in both direct and indirect systems, allows for

delivery of high pressure suppressants such as carbon dioxide, argon or similar agents.
